Bitcoin Forum

Lets face it, the altcoin section of bitcointalk is a mess. It's a jumble of posts about 14 different coins, not to mention all of the new coin announcements. I decided to take matters into my own hands. I started a forum dedicated to altcoins, each with their own board. Theres also no restrictions on new members. I'd be super grateful if someone wanted to come and post some stuff! It's over at altcoinforum.com (http://altcoinforum.com)\

List of coins on the board:

• Yacoin
• Powercoin
• Royalcoin
• Netcoin
• Frankocoin
• Onecoin
• Opticoin
• Litecoin
• Mincoin
• Devcoin
• PPCoin
• Namecoin
• Feathercoin
• BBQCoin
• Terracoin
• Devcoin
• Freicoin
• Novacoin
• Chinacoin
• IxCoin
• Bytecoin
• Bitbar
• Curecoin
• Indiancoin
• Onecoin

actually that could work, just organise it better - if you put each release in it's own forum , you will just end up filling down the page as they get relased daily .

suggestion ....

something like this :




{Board} - "Alternate Cyptocurrency"- New Ideas - Development  <----- ( try to clone the forum that is popular here, but without the spam)

{Board} - Launches - New Crypt

{Board} - Existing Coins   < ------- (basically move what you have there presently to this board and fill it up as they exist and delete them as they die)
 
{Board} - Off X Transactons

.

That's a great idea, I'm going to implement that as soon as I can.

Also, if anyone has any ideas for the forum, just let me know.

No royalcoin?

It's missing Yacoin, Frankocoin, Curecoin, Indiancoin, Onecoin, Opticoin, Royalcoin, and some more perhaps.

But Yacoin is the more important tho since it's the only CPU friendly coin out there atm.

Added all of those just now. Thanks for the heads up!

Your verification code is annoying. Only about 1 in 3 are legible. A lot of blue letters with blue bars that cover entire letters.

http://altcoinforum.org is better.

@mokahless fixed it so it's easier.

@Tradefortress the name is completely coincidental, but .org only has 5 altcoins, whereas my site has over 20. I try to include all of the new currencies, and not exclude any.

Yacoin and Powercoin added.

Awesome list, except franko isnt a coin :P

Changed Frankocoin to Franko  ;D

YAC shouldn't be on the same category, it deserves its own board like bitcoin.

Ha ha, yeah of course  ::)

I commend the initiative.

There's too much altcoin noise here. After all it's bitcointalk.org :)

@aes1 Thanks! I started it because I was tired of all the noise in this board, it was chaos. New coin announcments, mining questions, giveaways, all of that. It was too much.

Put next to the list the [ANN] link for every one of them  ;)

Good idea.

Too much nonsense every time I click "Show unread posts since last visit"

I'd much rather see one forum for each coin, as the first post was teasing. That might encourage more sensible consideration of each coin and less noise about others.

Each coin has it's own board, and I think that having them all in one forum helps give newer coins a chance, because of diffusion between different coin supporters. A lot of new coins don't have the clout to carry an entirely new forum, but with many coins, a fan of one coin can contribute to another coin's board without having to log in to another forum.

Ah.. too much grey I didn't even see the Child Boards listed.

I'm working on having the theme changed, thanks for the input!

There's more comments on this post than on your entire board.

Also, I made sure there were NO restrictions on new members. I always hated that about this forum.

Would "Off Exchange Transactions" be an appropriate place for [WTS], [WTB], [WTT] and [AUCTION] posts...?

I'm assuming yes, but just want to be certain

Yes, someone recommended I start that board for that sort of thing, so post all you want there!

duul:

now you need to go and PM all the senior members -that are doing someting meaningful Taco , Balthazar heaps of others if you can get one or two of them to move the general idea they have to your board it will be a success.

as soon as some traffic moves there , then all the spam will follow , but at least you can organize it . (something the BTC overloards have decided is not what this forum needs)

when you contact them your argument to them is:

you}  -      

"it is in your benifit to have a forum for just development where the most people can see your ideas and thus take on your new parameters for disscussion without the subject needing to be bumped every 5 seconds."


They say}    -

   " Well,  look we don't need your forum for that we have our own forums for our own coin."



you}    -

  "yes but your design is not released yet, so how do people keep track of all these new ideas without having to log into 15 forum boards, i beleive an individual forum for a currency is something that is great after the currency is released and is established,  you shoud pick up lots of traffic, but in the mean time the whole community needs  a place for ideas, and that's not a bitcointalk.org"


They say }  -  

   "wow! you have completely convinced me , also where can i send you money , also my girlfrend wants to now go on a Date with you ........actally,  i dont have a girfriend , but if i did , i'd definitly put in a good word for you., THAT's how much i like your idea. "


you}   -  

  "hey great ! thats ok tell your non existing gf i'm gay ! , also get your ideas  over there asap , so we can all get this forum and ideas working !!"


.

someone literally started an Indiancoin, fuck it...what's the third most populous nation?  Brb, checking wiki...

@digitalindustry I PM'd Taco, I think Balthazar has a bit on his plate at the moment. Who else should I PM?

Good job. Already created my first topic :)

40 members now :)

Any mining pools or mining instrutions for Frankocoin?

Over 50 members, and almost 150 posts, thanks to everybody for posting, and keep posting!

I think you missed Gold coin


GLDcoin


GLD

Sorry to piss on your bonfire, but : http://cryptocointalk.com/

Much, much nicer and far more active.

I'm not seeing how it's any more active. As far as I can see most of the posts are by one user, with the Agent Smith avatar.

Yes, both boards look to have an equal chance.

See litecoin discussions for example on the cryptocointalk is 0 replies to all topics.. http://cryptocointalk.com/forum/16-litecoin-discussions/

That said, I prefer the way they have the subforums laid out as a list, though that could be refined, having a list of major and minor might work better. Major being the olde school BTC; LTC; PPC; NMC; DVC.
Minor could be the type of list that altcoinforum has atm. Too many copycoins, I say!

The register page -

1. Captcha is almost unreadable and gave me nphkek 3 times in a row when I requested new image.  It also removes the password when the captcha is wrong which is annoying.

2. Sort the forums alphabetically

Thanks for your efforts I joined and will post.

*Add DGC pls.

Sorry about the captcha, I have run a few forums before and what happens is if you lax up on captchas, when you start to get a bit of noteablilty a spammer will set a program to make 500 accounts and make them post spam all at once.
